Just a few more cards left for this Christmas series! I hope you have found some cards you liked and that those last few cards will be able to inspire you a little as well. If you have enjoyed the series so far, you could let me know by following my blog and leaving a comment ;o) I always love hearing from you! Until December 26th you can still participate in my giveaway - you could win a $25 gift certificate to an online craft store of your choice. If you'd like to learn more about it you can find all the details in the first post of this series. (click) But now, let's take a look at today's card:

I love when a card serves the recipient twice - then I feel like all the effort one puts into a card is even more worthwhile ;o) This Christmas card is a card (no surprise here) but can be used as a Christmas tree ornament as well. Or even as a gift tag.

First I die cut the "Chunky Chevron" from white cardstock and adhered it over red cardstock. Next I die cut the same die from the red cardstock again and glued five of the arrow-shapes together and adhered them in the middle of the bottom row. This is going to be the stand for the ornament piece, so that it doesn't slide off the card. Now I die cut the ornament three times and stamped the penguin on one of them I coloured him with Copics and then glued all the ornaments together. That way it becomes more sturdy and you can't see any bleeding from the markers.

I cut a strip of vellum down to about 1 inch and embossed my sentiment ("merry Christmas") in "Liquid Platinum" embossing powder. As you can see you can't see any glue and that is because I left the vellum piece long enough so that I could wrap it around the chevron panel and glue it to the back of it using some sticky tape. The vellum is the perfect place for the greeting and also functions as a band to strap the ornament in securely. I think the penguin will now arrive safely at its new home for christmas ;o)
